Is this Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

Sometimes I am really out of breath and I try to take breaths and I can't. This happens sometimes when Im stressed but sometimes when Im just relaxing watching t.v. Also, I get a really fast heart beat and feel like Im gonna pass out. It happens a lot when Im just sitting around or watching t.v. and not totally occupying my time. I also worry about everything. Do I have to take pills for this or can I just learn breathing exercises?

I would check with your doctor and possibly get a thyroid workup done. When your thyroid is out of balance it can cause palpitations as well as anxiety right out of the blue.

Your thyroid levels should be tested yearly and is done with a simple blood test (one tube of blood only).

Your symptoms do sound like anxiety; but, this disorder can be caused by other conditions and it is the cause that needs to be found. Please don't allow any doctor to put you on medication unless they have test results to prove what you have...in other words, don't let them just treat your symptoms...get to the root of the problem. In my experience, a pill is never a fix if it is only treating the symptom and not addressing the true issue.

It sounds like you might have anxiety. Try getting some regular exercise, and if this doesn't help, then schedule a visit with your doctor. There are lots of good medications on the market now which can help you. You won't have to remain on the medicine forever, just until you feel better and calmer.
